DIGITRAX THROTTLES

Digitrax dual control throttles, such as the DT300 and DT400, use encoders to take full advantage of the excellent speed control available in 128 speed step mode.  With encoder throttles you can select a locomotive that is running and the throttle knob position won’t change the speed of that locomotive as a potentiometer throttle would.  This obviates the need to adjust the throttle to match the locomotive’s speed.  The dual controls on a single hand-held throttle give you prototypical multiple unit operations and helper service.  Any combination of LocoNet throttles can be added to any starter system on your layout, depending on your operational requirements.

DT400 Super Throttle for more sophisticated operation.

The DT400 comes with the Super Chief  and Super Empire Builder starter sets, but is an ideal addition to any Digitrax system as it gives greater flexibility for programming and operating both mobile and stationary decoders.  Designed as a walkaround throttle to be used with a UR90 infra-red receiver, its dual throttle controls have click encoders for extra fine speed control.  It has the same message display as the DT300, but has a full numeric keypad giving direct access to Functions 0-12, which means you need not go into function mode to operate lights, sound and other functions.  The big advantage is that there are no display time-outs and you have single key access to most common throttle tasks.  Selecting locomotives is much easier as the number of the locomotive is entered via the keypad and not ‘dialed up’ using the encoders.  The DT400 also has a Find Key for use with transponder equipped locomotives and layouts.  It has been designed to meet the requirements of enthusiastic operators which have been communicated to Digitrax over a number of years.

DT300 Advanced Throttle with Infra-red.

The DT300 can be used with any LocoNet Command Station.  It has a multi-line back-lit LCD display, showing information such as 2 digit and 4 digit addresses, functions and point feedback.  It is user configurable, has fast clock capability and access to Functions 0-8.  The DT300 comes with built-in infra-red capability.  The addition of one or more UR90 IR receivers means you have tetherless operation which can contribute enormously to the enjoyment of running a club or large personal layout.

UT2 and UT4 Utility Throttles.

The traditional, simple and cost-effective UT2 has one large knob for speed control, a direction switch for forward and reverse operation, programming capability and direct access to Functions 0-5. It can be used with any LocoNet system. It runs all 2 digit addresses and any 4 digit addresses and consists assigned to it by advanced throttles. Its simple design makes it really easy for beginners and layout visitors to use. The UT4 has the same design but runs all 4 digit addresses, has a 3-position direction switch, direct access to Functions 0-10 and built-in infra-red capability.

DCS50

The Zephyr uses the DCS50 combined command station/booster/throttle (see starter sets for further information).

NCE THROTTLES

ProCab deluxe throttle
The ProCab provides user friendly access to advanced system features. Uncomplicated menus on the easy-to-read, backlit LCD display guide you through the most advanced operations with a minimum of fuss. Ergonomically designed to suit both left and right handed operators, its speed controls fall naturally under the thumb, to be comfortable even after long operating sessions. Speed is selected either by a thumbwheel knob or automatically repeating push buttons. The ProCab gives simple control of single or multiple points, animated accessories, lights and multiple units. A recall button allows access to one of six trains selected on the throttle. Programming can be done on separate programming track or on the advanced ‘programme on the mainline’. The dual function emergency stop button enables you to stop only your locomotive or to kill power to the whole layout. The ProCab supports all DCC compatible sound units.

Cab04 and Cab05 additional throttles
These throttles offer basic control with easy selection of locomotives/consists, decoder functions including momentary horn, selection and control of individual or entire routes through points, and an additional option button to be programmed as you wish. The Cab05 (£68) uses push buttons, with an adjustable automatic repeat rate, for speed control, while the Cab04 uses a more conventional knob with either a potentiometer (Cab04p - £58) or digital encoder (Cab04e - £82). The Cab04 can also be set to yard mode, where a change in direction of the speed knob brings the train to a halt before it reverses direction and picks up speed.
